Tang Tian could recognize the opponent that walked out almost immediately: “w.a.n.g Zhen!”
Beast Academy’s w.a.n.g Zhen!
A tinge of light flashed across w.a.n.g Zhen’s eyes: “Tang Tian, I have been looking forward to meeting you.”
When w.a.n.g Zhen walked out from the light, the four lights enveloping the caves disappeared. On top of their foreheads appeared a white ray of light, inside of it revealed a cave.
Seeing Tang Tian in a daze, w.a.n.g Zhen said peacefully: “You don’t have to look around anymore. This is the bas.e.m.e.nt of Labyrinth of Spirits. The cave above you leads to the next level. Over there, there is a spirit key. Those who get a spirit key then can enter the second level. It is destined that, between us, only one will be able to get to the second level.”
“What an odd place!” Tang Tian scratched his head: “How do you know?”
“Each Labyrinth of Spirits is different, but the Star Lexicon Spirit Stone loves the strongest.” w.a.n.g Zhen said dully: “Come on, let me see how capable you are.”
“Are we really going to fight?” Tang Tian had a pretty good impression of w.a.n.g Zhen.
“Only with victory can you get the spirit key. The failures would be sent out of the labyrinth.” w.a.n.g Zhen said.
“Alright.” Tang Tian was slightly annoyed: “Let’s fight then!”
With that last sentence, Tang Tian seemed like a changed person. His aura became ferocious as he stared at w.a.n.g Zhen.
w.a.n.g Zhen nodded: “Not bad, you’ve improved again.”
Before he finished his sentence, w.a.n.g Zhen took a step forward. Tang Tian only felt his vision become blurry and he lost w.a.n.g Zhen’s figure. Right at the moment, a fist suddenly appeared right in front of him.
Flash Fist!
Tang Tian’s pupils restricted. He saw w.a.n.g Zhen’s fist, which was surrounded by rippling, dull waves. Tang Tian knew how powerful w.a.n.g Zhen’s fist was. Only when a fist had been shaking tremendously through mid air would it be able to create such ripples.
Swish, Tang Tian took a deep breath and retreated three steps back. Slap! He stomped his right foot in front firmly to stop his body. Borrowing this strength, he bent forward and pulled out his fist.
[Flash Fist]!
Bang!
The two fists knocked against each other roughly, and Tang Tian felt a sense of numbness on his right hand.
What a strong energy!
It was not just the power of the muscles, but also the burst of energy from the fist. To explode with such astonishing True Power in such small vibrations, it literally needed to perfect the vibration.
“It’s a powerful True Power.” w.a.n.g Zhen’s eyes seemed as though it was fueled. He took another step ferociously and dashed forward like a lightning, pulling out the [Flash Fist] once again!
Tang Tian roared. He did not retreat, and similarly sent out his [Flash Fist].
The two fists knocked into one another again.
Bang! Bang!
The two pulled their fists out as if it were raining. The fists would continuously bang into each other in mid air. Very quickly, Tang Tian knew something was wrong. After each collision, his fist and knuckles would be numb. After over ten strikes, his fists and knuckles were completely numb.
So the vibrations could actually be used in such a way!
Tang Tian was shocked. w.a.n.g Zhen’s Flash Fist vibrations were considered smaller than the Minute Collapsing Fist’s, and so, they needed less power, but also required less time to explode. w.a.n.g Zhen incorporated it into the Flash Fist and created a unique Flash Fist of his own.
“Tang Tian, is that all you’re Flash Fist has to offer?” w.a.n.g Zhen took the initiative and pulled away from Tang Tian before he asked suddenly.
When Tang Tian heard this, his tightened his fist and stated: “Now that you’ve seen it, I’ll show you the killing technique of Flash Fist!”
“Killing technique…” w.a.n.g Zhen was slightly surprised, his eyes lit up.
Tang Tian leaped out with his left foot. He suddenly shot out his long awaited right fist.
A silver lightning bolt tore apart his vision field.
w.a.n.g Zhen only felt a sudden brightness. His heart dropped. He defended himself by crossing his arms in front of him, but Tang Tian’s heavy fists were there. An astonishing power struck on his arms.
Bang!
The arms he had just raised immediately fell apart. w.a.n.g Zhen took five steps back before he managed to stop himself from falling back.
Tang Tian kept his gaze tightly on w.a.n.g Zhen. this was his Slaying Lightning Bolt, and it was also the first time someone managed to defend against it. Slaying Lightning Bolt could be said to be his fastest fist attack, even Tang Tian found it hard to catch it with his own eyes. He could not believe it was blocked by w.a.n.g Zhen.
Whoosh, w.a.n.g Zhen breathed out a long breath.
“What a powerful killing technique. What is it called?” w.a.n.g Zhen eyes was filled with admiration.
“Slaying Lightning Bolt!” Tang Tian too, looked at w.a.n.g Zhen with admiration since he had such strong capabilities.
“Your Flash Fist is at its wit’s ends, yet my killing technique Flash Fist has yet to be formed.” w.a.n.g Zhen was blatantly honest: “It’s a pity it’s not purely a compet.i.tion this time round. You have to be ready. I’m giving it my all now.”
w.a.n.g Zhen’s aura was bursting.
A formidable power, as though a storm, was arriving at Tang Tian.
So powerful!
Tang Tian felt a shiver in his heart, but not knowing why, he had no fear at all. Instead, he was filled with a will to fight. Deep in his eyes, it was as though a blazing fire setting a trail: “Although I never once thought to spar with a senior, to be able to meet a senior that is so powerful, I’m very happy!”
Tang Tian’s True Power was arousing in his body. He looked at w.a.n.g Zhen without any fear.
w.a.n.g Zhen looked with admiration and said: “My elemental affinity is towards the fire element. My fist technique is known as [Chain Cannon Fist], third rank. The fists are powerful and vicious. Be careful.”
Tang Tian said in a low voice: “My elemental affinity is balanced, my fist technique is known as [Minute Collapsing Fist], third rank. Please be careful too!”
Tang Tian took a deep breath in. the Crane Body tensed and relaxed at the same time. In his heart, it was unusually peaceful. He lowered his body and laid down his fist pose.
Looking at Tang Tian’s formidable pose of his fist, w.a.n.g Zhen cheered on the inside. All those people had underestimated this young lad! w.a.n.g Zhen’s eyes were burning with the intention to fight. To be able to spar with such a powerful and capable opponent was such a thrilling thing.
The fire elemental True Power speed was very fast. w.a.n.g Zhen’s pose was very special. Both his arms pointed downwards straight without bending his joints.
Circles of fire extruded to his fists in spirals from his shoulders. It was as if w.a.n.g Zhen’s shoulders was cannons, blazing with a strong ray of red light.
What a unique fist technique!
Tang Tian was even more motivated. It was the first time he had seen such a fist technique. He took a deep breath and used all the True Power in his body. The Crane Body was waiting for action after acc.u.mulating the energy.
A ray of red light flashed across w.a.n.g Zhen’s eyes. His red right arm pointed at Tang Tian like a cannon. With his shoulder as the fulcrum, it pulled back suddenly.
Dong!
A whistle like a drum so deep resonated.
A bundle of dazzling red fist impressions flew towards Tang Tian in anger, as if they were the artillery sh.e.l.l being shot out.
The levels of excitement in Tang Tian’s heart had reached a peak. With a long hiss, he stepped forward with his left foot. His body was like a snake, as if he was sliding around the floor. The right fist which was waiting to launch an attack welcomed the incoming whistling red fist by attacking forward!
The Crane Body’s Minute Collapsing Fist!
The Crane Body was as sharp as blade, while the Minute Collapsing Fist could crush things into pieces!
Bang!
The blazing red fist was crushed into millions pieces of dazzling red specks, as if they were fireworks.
Tang Tian’s body and knuckles shook. The power of the blazing red fist was extremely overwhelming and far beyond his imagination. Tang Tian felt as if he were being attacked by an incoming flying hammer.
Dong!
Without allowing Tang Tian to catch a breath, another shrilling explosion resounded through. A ray of red coloured cannon fists resonated once again.
Without thinking, Tang Tian whipped out his left fist!
A million strike repet.i.tions was part of Tang Tian’s practice. He cultivated the Minute Collapsing Fist the most. Each time he shot a fist out, it was based on instinct, and he was not required to think.
Bang!
The blazing red fist was crushed again in split seconds. Several fireworks dispersed in all directions.
Dong dong!
An intimidating explosion travelled through their ears. w.a.n.g Zhen’s Chain Cannon Fist was astonishing. Every explosion was powerful and gloomy.
Tang Tian did not had any time to think, he could only pull out his Minute Collapsing Fist continuously to break apart the blazing red fist.
After about twenty fists, Tang Tian felt something was off. There were signs of numbness in his knuckles again!
Senior w.a.n.g Zhen actually incorporated the power of Flash Fist vibrations into the Chain Cannon Fist!
That was awesome!
w.a.n.g Zhen’s attacks were remarkably steady. He was like a gun turret, firmly attached to the ground. He continuously alternated his arms by crossing and uncrossing them! Senior w.a.n.g Zhen’s eyes were peaceful, without a slight change. From the start, he had maintained a steady rate of attacks.
w.a.n.g Zhen’s Chain Cannon Fist was not taught in Beast Academy, but in his family. Not many people knew that the w.a.n.g Clan was an aristocratic family of the ancient martials. Although they had fallen for a long time, they still had a solid foundation. There were only three ranks to the Chain Cannon Fist, but in w.a.n.g Zhen’s hands, it was brilliant. w.a.n.g Zhen modified the original fist technique, which was incomplete in the first place, and incorporated the many techniques he had learnt in school, perfecting the Chain Cannon Fist.
w.a.n.g Zhen’s father was very expectant of w.a.n.g Zhen, because in his hands, he could possibly increase the Chain Cannon Fist to a rank four martial technique!
Right now, it was enough to see that the Chain Cannon Fist was a shadow of a fourth rank martial technique.
Slowly, Tang Tian was suppressed. w.a.n.g Zhen’s attacks were just and honourable, yet could not be defended against. The dense storm of fists filled the air like a rainy scene. Although the technique did not reach Tang Tian’s rate of twenty fists per second, it was still powerful enough to lockdown Tang Tian’s road. Tang Tian could only made use of Aerial Wood Stake and Minute Collapsing fist to continuously avoid and withstand.
The blazing red fists’ power was astonishing. The surrounding walls were all as strong as iron, but when met by w.a.n.g Zhen’s fist, a big hole immediately formed with lots of debris flying all over the place. Tang Tian could still fight off these small pieces of rocks, but they flew at him fast. If he got distracted for even a second, it would hit his face and cause him to bleed.
No way!
This could not go on!
Only when he widened his angle would he be able to get a chance.
Tang Tian gritted his teeth. He stepped hard on the ground, bent and rolled his body over to the cliff walls. His back against the walls, Tang Tian started to run along them
Dong dong!
The blazing red fists chased behind him as if it was raining. Wherever Tang Tian pa.s.sed by, were trails of pits as big as a face.
w.a.n.g Zhen quickly reacted.
The few fists appeared right in front of Tang Tian instead.
Tang Tian dodged it with his agility and followed the walls of the cliffs with no patterns.
w.a.n.g Zhen’s expression was icy cold, like iron. A ray of red light flashed across his eyes.
The attacks stopped all of a sudden. Tang Tian was overjoyed. Could it be w.a.n.g Zhen’s True Power was insufficient? However, when he looked over, he sighed a cold breath and his expression changed drastically.
The two blazing red arms were raised and pointed right at Tang Tian.
As if they were two red cannons, pointing towards Tang Tian with a murderous look.
Oh no!
Tang Tian’s heart quivered.
Dong!
The whistle was more gloomy, more frightening than before. It caused Tang Tian’s ears to go numb all of a sudden.
Two fists, stronger and bigger than before, burst out of the cannon as if they were artillery sh.e.l.ls and came directly at Tang Tian.
Tang Tian was in an extremely dangerous situation. He was sweating all over, and his hair stood. He took a long breath, the air went into his lungs like a knife, as it hurt a little bit!
Tang Tian relaxed his brows and bent over, used all of his True Power, and acc.u.mulated it in his fists.
His inner Crane Body seemed to be restless
